Pelican House was the perfect home base for a true "island experience." St.Lucia is a unique and special Caribbean Island with mountains, rainforest, coconut palm shaded beaches, snorkeling, boating and interesting local food and culture.
Pelican House is perfectly located to see and do it all! (Or nothing at all).
Pelican House is a great home base situated high on a hill overlooking beautiful Marigot Bay (one of the prettiest harbors anywhere) surrounded by bouganvillea and cooled by tropical breezes. The kitchen is very well equipped for any kind of culinary adventure-for us it was a great pleasure to sit on the porch and have breakfast taking in the beautiful view.
One evening Julietta the housekeeper prepared a tasty St. Lucian meal which was a lot of fun.
We explored the entire island and we were so glad we chose Pelican House.

Pelican House was a delightful property.
All the conveniences of home with a FANTASTIC view and warm weather to boot.
Stayed for a week and enjoyed every minute of it. Great central location for the main island attractions, nothing more than an hour away by car or taxi. The resort provided all essentials such as restaurants, gifts and groceries.
House accessible via lift/tram which saves on LOTZ of stairs.

Only disappointment was no internet and noisy neighbors for several nights.

Would give it 8 out of 10 stars and highly recommended!!!

I had a great time in St. Lucia and the Pelican House was fantastic. Marigot Bay is beautiful and the Pelican House has a lovely view of the Bay. The large porch was great! We enjoyed every minute of our stay and would recommend this place to anyone. I have travelled to other Caribbean islands, but St. Lucia and our stay at the Pelican House have been by far one of my favorites! My goal in life is to visit as many Caribbean islands as I can, but should I decide to return to St. Lucia, I will definitely rent the Pelican House again.

We (husband, 15 yr. old son, and I ) had a
wonderful time in the outdoor house, views were
spectacular all the time, all the conveniences of
home, an extremely relaxing house.There are lots
of things to do if you wish, water taxis or regular
taxis are the easiest way to go, if you have a car,
get very specific directions as there are very few
signs to locations..The best way to describe our
vacation in St- Lucia is, a great adventure.Local
food was great, Restaurant Mygo across the bay
was delicious,lots of fresh fruits and
vegies,mangoes on tree in backyard a real treat!.
Local people friendly, water warm and clear,
scenery spectacular.There were no bugs during the
day but bug spray at night is recommended as the
little devils hide out in dark places and come out to
get you at night.Had a blast, it's a great place!

The Pelican House was a wonderful place to stay! The views from the deck were great. Julietta showed us some local places to shop near Marigot Bay. The availability of fresh produce and fish at the market in Castries was impressive. The roads are narrow, but we found the local drivers to be very courteous. Jim (the house owner)was great to deal with. We had to spend an unexpected night in Puerto Rico on the way down and Jim was very helpful in coordinating with Julietta to meet us at the house at a different time to let us in. Marigot Bay is one of the prettiest bays that we have seen, and the weather was perfect. We highly recommend staying at the Pelican House.

WE loved this house. Except for sleeping the entire living space is outdoors on the long deck where there are 3 separate living areas, great views and steady cooling breezes. The kitchen is well-equiped and open air with the same terrific views. The closeby swimming and snorkling leave something to be desired, but still a refreshing swim is only a short distance away - and better beaches are only a short water taxi ride away. No need for a car - and driving is a nightmare anyway - just hire Smally and let him do the work. Biggest drawback is the noise from all the tourboats with loudspeakers during the day and from the live bands in the bars (but only a couple of nights a week) at night. Maid service is efficient and not at all intrusive. If we ever return to St. Lucia we'll definitely book here again.

Yes now we are back home in the cold Denmark. A happy new year to you too.

To you and your wife: Thank you for having the Pelican house – so it was possible for us to use it for two weeks. All 7 in the family have had a fantastic holiday in your house. Holiday is: Touring the island, and the wonderful beaches, – sitting on the veranda watching the ships sail by, walking slowly through Doolittle’s to the beach, having a chat with the local guys saying Jaa Maan.

We went to our local village near the airport down south. They were all there after 20 years. Lots of tears, drinks and local food. But also a bit hard to see, that in those 20 years they have only become poorer, with bad health and no money for medicine. The development has only been in the north part of the island. In Laborie and Wieux Fort everything has closed down – and people seems lost. The farm we managed for two years is closed – so again no fresh milk on the island.

But being a guest on the island is fantastic. Marigot Bay is probably one of the most beautiful bays in the world.

So thanks again, we will tell all our friends around Copenhagen about this wonderful holiday and we will of course tell the same story on homeawayconnect guestbook.

Thanks again – and best wishes

Henriette and Morten Krohn + Zia, Nilas, Aske, Ida and Albert (all of us is almost as black as the locals)

Pelican House has been one of
our best location in St-Lucia
for the past 5 years. It has
great views of the bay. The
house is so well equiped, it
has all what is needed to have
a great vacation. Jim & Gail
have done a great job with all
the up keeps. The very special
house is great for adults and
is also very wonderful for a
family. The fact that it
doesn\'t have television,
make\'s you feel completely
disconnected of this world.

The only inconvenient about
Pelican, is that some
neighbouring house are fussy
about parties in the
evening.
I would strongly recommend Pelican House for a great vacation, it will surely be one of your best experience in the Caribbean.

We first rented Pelican house in 2001 on our first trip to St-Lucia and have been renting this very relaxing villa many times in the last few years. We found everything we needed with or without our children (who themselves love very much). The views of the sunsets, sailing boats entering the Bay, Caribbean ocean , mountains, etc... are spectacular. The open air concept of Pelican House makes you feel and appreciate the beautiful nature and views of St-Lucia. The 3 bedrooms with there ensuite bathrooms (only showers) are very comfortable and spacious. The open-air living and dining area is the place to \"Party\" or just to relax breathing in the Caribbean velvet air specially lying in the hamak. All of he restaurants around the Bay are worth trying depending on the mood you\'re in. We call Pelican House a nest in Paradise and this nest has made us fall in love with St-Lucia and want to return over and over again....
